Maxpowder, Apsley - Recommended

[Kay500]

Just wanted to recommend Maxpowder in Apsley They recently refurbished my boyfriends 18" wheels in white on his Mini Cooper S and they were perfect. They looked ace and only cost £35 a wheel. The wheels were a bit curbed but in good condition other than that.

did that include removal and refitting of tyres and balancing?

I forgot to mention, we supplied the wheels off the car, and also paid in cash which gave us a bit more discount. I think it was meant to be £40 a wheel.

The only downside is that there were plastic bolts going round the outside of the wheel (meant to look like a split rim), and they all melted when the wheels were heated. So we lost those, but I think it looks fine without. Plus, they were cheaper for not being a split rim. I've heard some garages won't accept them.

I'm pretty sure all the balancing was done, it had shiny new silver bits on there afterwards.

Yup! Was very impressed with price and turnaround. We dropped the wheels off Wednesday afternoon and they were ready on Friday morning. Brilliant job, couldn't fault the work.
